Here are a couple of photos taken at a job fair in China that took place earlier this year. It’s no place for the crowd-phobic, and you’d better bring a book (or five) to pass the time:

I’m in the States celebrating American Thanksgiving (the Canadian version was last month) with the in-laws. Happy Thanksgiving to my American family, friends and readers, and if you’re deep-frying the turkey, be careful!
A scene from the movie Coyote Ugly.
Coyote Ugly Saloon — the New York City bar that inspired the movie, which in turn inspired a number of franchise bars bearing the same name — is about to open a branch in Accordion City’s “Clubland” area.
The National Post reports that Don Rodbard, president of the King-Spadina Residents Association has these particular concerns about Coyote Ugly that suggest that he’s as clueless about life in the big city as the pro-nightclub people suggest:
“Of course we have concerns, Coyote Ugly, yeah,” Mr. Rodbard said. “They don’t have a good image. The impression the world has is that this place is where you go to get drunk and pick up chicks if you’re a guy and pick up guys if you’re a chick.”
How does this differ from any other singles bar? Or many house parties, school dances, debutante cotillions and even church socials?
Being the day before Thanksgiving, today’s a busy day at airports all across the United States. If you’re flying today, the Citizen’s Insertable Swiftness Manifest will guarantee that you’ll breeze through security*!

Conservapedia’s readership doth protest too much, methinks.
It’s my last day here at Tucows, and at the risk of sounding like a film critic, I’m going to have to say that the feeling is bittersweet. Fittingly enough, this song is running through my head:

And I can’t mention that song without making reference to the most painful cover version ever:

One thing I will not miss about working at Tucows is the Dufferin 29 bus in the morning — inconsistently scheduled, often overcrowded, and this morning (like many others), poorly planned. About a hundred of us were crammed onto the sidewalk waiting for a bus that wasn’t “short turned”. The Dufferin bus is the biggest reason I tend to bike to work. It’s the KFC Famous Bowls of public transit: a failure pile in a sadness bowl [warning: some swearing].
There are days that I wonder how the TTC has any fans at all.
